They had complied with the relevant requirements for fire safety and ensured that their fire detection and control equipment was in full working order. Leaders and managers had updated all staff to know how to safely evacuate children and how to identify and minimise risks. Leaders and managers now fully understand their roles and responsibilities.

We aim to ensure that the welfare of children and young people is protected in the services we regulate. The Childcare Act 2006 and accompanying regulations set out our responsibilities to regulate childminders and childcare providers. This includes the enforcement powers we have in relation to those registered providers who do not comply with the requirements for registration.

We publish details of any actions we take, or the childminder or childcare provider takes to bring about compliance with requirements on our website for a period of five years.
